Abstract: A system for measuring a sensor having two terminals includes first and second transistors with first and second control signal inputs connected to the sensor terminals. The system further includes a current divider including a reference current input, a current divider control input and first and second current outputs connected to the first and second transistors. First and second load circuits are connected to the first and second transistors at first and second differential output nodes. First and second integrating circuits are connected to the first and second differential output nodes. A comparator is driven by first and second differential output nodes. The comparator output controls a digital integrator. A value of a current divider control signal driving the current divider control input depends at least indirectly from the digital integrator.
